thanks - what a crap design thouigh
even microsoft windows update gives you a choice
and what does a forced FW upgrade do to your non-kobo-store books , do you loose books / current page.....
PS actually that's worse than stupid - you could be travelling + reading on an almost flat battery - then daily sync kicks in because you forget to turn it off. your Kobo goes into firmware upgrade install but does not have enough juice to compete - > potentially bricked ? ( I don't suppose it is smart enough to check its own charge status before it begins all that ? )
